Strengths: Being able to switch between hard projectiles and Ion bolts. Has a single action and a three-round burst setting, as well as a three second charge setting. This charged bolt also depletes three rounds when fired. The Lichbane bullets were made specifically for this weapon, as the weapon was made specifically for them. Effective against heavy and light armored adversaries.
Weaknesses: The pistols are relatively heavy due to there being a lot more inside of it than meets the naked eye. While hard, one can use the gun to fire singular rounds of Ion bolts, though the three round burst setting and the hard beskar rounds can only be used when also wearing the Lichbane armor. This is for two simple reasons. When not having the additional support of the armored gauntlets, firing three round bursts becomes messy as the recoil may push the weapon out of his hands and cause all the rounds to hopelessly miss. The second reason is that the heavy beskar tipped rounds firing without the suit on for protection has such a powerful recoil that it would otherwise break his wrists in the attempt. The gauntlets however dampen the recoil greatly, but do not completely nullify it. Three round burst does not work for the hard projectiles, only for the Ion bolt shots. Finally, the special casing of the Lichbane rounds are the only slug type bullets that can fit in this weapon as they were made specifically for it.
Description: Probably a one of a kind weapon, aside from the fact that there are two of them in the entire galaxy, they were made for the sole purpose of making Thresco's life as a Bounty Hunter easier. During meetings, the only weapons often allowed inside for protection are side-arms, which was why Choice and Consequence have been made. Made to fight any opponent, they each have room inside of the handle for the Lichbane magazines, which are slid up and connected to the tibanna gas cell, which is the key component to making the bullets function.
The normal rate of fire is limited to simple Ion bolts, though the rate of fire can be switched between single-action and three round bursts. The three round burst can be used four times in rapid succession before the cell is depleted and will require time to recharge. With a recharge rate of one round per second, the weapon is ready to be used against relatively quickly. Additionally, when in single-action mode, a charged Ion bolt can be fired after being held in for three seconds. Made from carbonized beskar, the guns are both light and durable, making them potentially useful as blunt hand-held weapons if need be.
